Popcorn used to be my favorite snack as a kid, definitely being eaten daily after school, and sometimes willingly being subbed out for meals. Did anyone else have such an obsession with the kettle corn microwavable packs? Seriously, I love popcorn.

Popcorn is a great low calorie snack, quick to make, and easy to take on the go or smuggle into movie theaters. Make sure the kernels you purchase are Non GMO & Organic. Genetically modified corn is a horrendous ingredient and should really be avoided altogether. If you haven’t seen & rented the documentary Genetic Roulette, it’s amust watch.
What a great excuse to eat some popcorn, ay?

Not to mention the kettle corn sold at the fair…. So good, yet I can’t help but think of how sugary each bite of that stuff is. Really, who needs to eat a bag of popcorn 1/3 of their body height anyway?

Using coconut crystals keeps the sugar content low on this kettle corn, with only 4 grams per tablespoon. Feel free to use more or less, depending on your own body’s response to sugar.
We purchased 3 lbs. for $12, so it’s a pretty inexpensive switch to make in your own kitchen.
